Social and political activist Marsha Walker has won part of her constitutional claim against the police service for stopping her from peacefully protesting in 2021.
In a ruling last week, Justice Ricky Rahim held that her first attempt at a one-person protest was unlawfully shut down by police officers.
Walker had claimed that her constitutional rights were violated on two occasions when she tried to protest peacefully outside the Parliament in Port of Spain in July and November 2021.
